beautiful-mermaid is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from intellectronica/agent-skills. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,184 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A tool for turning Mermaid text diagrams into SVG or PNG image files. Mermaid is a text format for describing diagrams such as workflows, API interactions, state machines, class relationships, and database structures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to render flowcharts, sequence diagrams, state diagrams, UML class diagrams, and entity-relationship diagrams in different visual themes.
Why use it?
It lets you use diagram descriptions in code or documentation while producing image files that people can view or share.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

beautiful-mermaid scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/create-html.ts, scripts/render.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Beautiful Mermaid Diagram Rendering

Render Mermaid diagrams as SVG and PNG images using the Beautiful Mermaid library.

Dependencies

This skill requires the agent-browser skill for PNG rendering. Load it before proceeding with PNG capture.

Supported Diagram Types

  • Flowchart - Process flows, decision trees, CI/CD pipelines
  • Sequence - API calls, OAuth flows, database transactions
  • State - State machines, connection lifecycles
  • Class - UML class diagrams, design patterns
  • Entity-Relationship - Database schemas, data models

Available Themes

Default, Dracula, Solarized, Zinc Dark, Tokyo Night, Tokyo Night Storm, Tokyo Night Light, Catppuccin Latte, Nord, Nord Light, GitHub Dark, GitHub Light, One Dark.

If no theme is specified, use default.

Common Syntax Patterns

Flowchart Edge Labels

Use pipe syntax for edge labels:

A -->|label| B
A ---|label| B

Avoid space-dash syntax which can cause incomplete renders:

A -- label --> B   # May cause issues

Node Labels with Special Characters

Wrap labels containing special characters in quotes:

A["Label with (parens)"]
B["Label with / slash"]

Workflow

Step 1: Generate or Validate Mermaid Code

If the user provides a description rather than code, generate valid Mermaid syntax. Consult references/mermaid-syntax.md for full syntax details.

Step 2: Render SVG

Run the rendering script to produce an SVG file:

bun run scripts/render.ts --code "graph TD; A-->B" --output diagram --theme default

Or from a file:

bun run scripts/render.ts --input diagram.mmd --output diagram --theme tokyo-night

Alternative runtimes:

npx tsx scripts/render.ts --code "..." --output diagram
deno run --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net scripts/render.ts --code "..." --output diagram

This produces <output>.svg in the current working directory.

Step 3: Create HTML Wrapper

Run the HTML wrapper script to prepare for screenshot:

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
